Equipment
- freezer
Ingredients
- Nougat base
- 1 cup oat flour 100 g
- 1/2 cup coconut flour 50 g
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup 18 ml
- 1.5 tablespoon coconut oil 37 ml
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon milk 75 ml
- Caramel layer
- 6 dates
- 1 1/2 tablespoon peanut butter 24 g
- 2 1/2 tablespoon melted coconut oil 31 ml
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup 36 ml
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoon peanuts 20 g
- 100 g melted chocolate
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper. Just make space in your freezer for the pan. Because you will be putting it in the freezer and pulling it back out several times (see notes).
- Nougat (base) - Gather and measure all ingredients by starting to mix the oat flour, almond flour, coconut oil and liquid sweetener of choice until well combined. Consequently, firmly and evenly press the Nougat into the 9x13 pan and leave in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Caramel - Now, remove the pits from the Dates and soak them in hot boiled water for 10 minutes. You can also add the Dates in a bowl and microwave for 2 minutes, to save time.
- The Dates should get moist so drain any excess liquid off of the Dates and add them to a food processor or high speed blender with rest of the caramel's ingredients like the peanut butte, vanilla extract, salt and 1/4 cup of the remaining Date water. Process until thick and smooth.
- Use a spatula to spread the Date caramel evenly over the Nougat, then sprinkle some peanuts over the caramel and press them with your fingers into the caramel layer, so they stick. Place in the feezer, until firm.
- Remove the frozen “filling” from the 9x13 pan and with a sharp knife cut it into square-sized pieces.
- Return these to the freezer while you melt your chocolate.
- Chocolate - Microwave your chocolate of choice with intervals of 25-30 seconds (no more that that, chocolate might burn), stirring in between. Stop microwaving once you notice is 75% melted, and stir the mixture with a spatula until completely melted.
- Acting quickly, place 1 candy square into the bowl of melted Chocolate. Use two forks to “flip” the square, until it is coated in chocolate on all sides. Then, place it onto a plate lined with parchment paper and repeat with the same process with the remaining squares.
- Lastly, place the bars in the fridge for another 5-10 minutes, to allow the chocolate to harden. After that, serve and enjoy!
